Since the wind was howling and the drift was fast, we used the heavier owner lead heads in white and dark green. The plastics were the four inch channel island chovy, curly tailed sardine colored in four inch and the weedless style heavy jigs. The biggest bass were taken on the weedless style heavy jigs in darker green and on the curly tailed sardine colored plastic. For flies, chartouse clouser style, blue and white clouser style on a full sink fly line, large arbor sage real and an 8 weight St. Croix flyrod. We usually always keep at least one flyrod on board for when the bite gets stupid. The bass were caught on mainly 10 to 15 pound line. I am not trying to sound cocky, but when I have my brothers on board, we usually do very well. The boys can throw plastics very well, they can fly line bait and throw out the flies with very good technique. Being brothers, we are relentless in putting one another down for any missed fish or even fish that are deemed to be small. Consequently, we fish very aggressively and everyone ones to be the top stick on the boat. All in all, it was a very fun day. By the way, I was able to download the Mexican Fishing License Application from the Conapesca San Diego Site (
www.conapescasandiego.org). I filled it out and sent it back to them with a self addressed paid envelope and a cashier's check for about $48.20. I had new Mexican License back to me in less than four days. You guys ought to consider this. If you purchase a Mexican License from a tackle store you will likely pay more than $60.00. Next trip out will likely be for the yellowtail.
